TIFU and bought a haunted house next to a rapist *TW- suicide, SA

TIFU Sooooo I bought a log cabin on 10 acres in Texas. I had been looking and looking and constantly scrolling Zillow. I was getting ready to give up. It sold for half the price of a townhouse in the nearby city where I work.

I can't believe it happened. It's literally my dream house and I never thought it would be possible. I am officially the out of town person who buys the obviously haunted house and can't believe what a deal it was.

The last owner committed suicide. The realtor says not at the house, but still, not ideal. This is manageable. I can fill the house with life and love and happiness.

The real big kicker is that after I had an accepted offer, I did the ol' sex offender search. The neighbor directly across the street broke into a house, tied up the boyfriend, robbed the place, and sexually assaulted a 17 year old woman. He did his time and is out of jail. This happened in 2007. Maybe he's rehabilitated? He's rehabilitated, right? This thing is in the middle of nowhere and the one neighbor is this guy. Other than that there is no one around which is what I wanted. He's definitely rehabilitated.

TLDR: I bought a house in the middle of nowhere and the ONE neighbor is a rapist.

TIFU By Fumbling My Gym Crush

I've never posted on Reddit before so apologies if anything is off. I (F) had a crush on a man at my gym for months. We would make extended eye contact frequently, workout in proximity, the usual gym things that get over analyzed when you like someone. He's wildly handsome, but I liked his vibe. A lot. It's hard to explain when someone's energy just hits different but his did. One day he started coming in with a woman. The day I saw her with him, he and I actually stared at each other from across the room for a while, and I turned and walked away because obviously gym rules - that's his girlfriend until I'm told otherwise. The eye contact continues and so does the proximity but I've dialed back completely because in my head, he has a girl and I am no home wrecker. Well, recently, on a Sunday, I was having a real shit day. I accidentally hurt my shoulder so my back day was all off, my body wasn't cooperating, the gym was packed - all I wanted to do w...

TIFU by getting called racist for not handing cash to a customer

today I (F18) fucked up by worked a long ahh shift and got put on register. I never hand money in people’s hands as customers have yelled at me for it, and i think it’s germy so I scoot it towards them as a sign of respect. this lady came in and after i did that she goes “Imma need you to do that again and put it in my hand, you did this last time too don’t you know it’s disrespectful” (meanwhile i haven’t worked register in 2 months at said job and didn’t recognize her) so i apologize, and then cuz it’s call off time i go talk to my boss about it and they all agree with me. apparently though she told my keyholder who’s a poc i was being RACIST by not touching her. so i got told i need to do better even though i didn’t do anything. she was insinuating i was a racist. idk if i should quit or what but i fucked up. TL;DR: i’m a dumbass

TIFU by sh*tting in the bushes at a high school

So I’m training for a local 10k race in a couple months. That’s about 6.2 miles. Not a long race but not a short one either. I’m making good progress and tinkering with what works for me on longer runs, how I can keep my body moving at an easy, consistent pace for about 70-80 minutes. I’ve been increasing the distance over the past few months, prioritizing getting the distance down before I work on pace. I train early mornings at a local high school track within walking distance of my house. They have public hours almost every morning from 6-8 am. It’s a very nice track with good lighting and ✨no public bathrooms✨. Because I’ve been focused on increasing distance I’m waking up earlier and earlier to get to the track and really hammer it out before I go home and shower for work. In turn, I’ve been drinking a little extra COFFEE most mornings get my body going. Til now this hasn’t been a problem, I don’t leave the house until my body takes care of business. I successfully dropped the ...
